Any NHL predictions for this game must take into account not only home-ice advantage for the Jets, but the fact that the Avalanche haven’t been in the best of form for a while now, having won just four of their last 15 games. So on that basis, the Jets have to be the team to be with on the Money Line odds to win this game.
